‘South Park’ Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone ‘Rename’ Show to ‘South America’ in Jab at Trump
The satire targets Trump’s map renamings and Apple and Google’s adoption of them, with the creators thanking Paramount as a "Skydance Capitulation."
- On Tuesday, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone announced they are renaming South Park to SOUTH AMERICA, a marketing stunt poking fun at President Donald Trump.
- The renaming mocks Trump's recent rebrands, specifically his declaration that Lake Ontario be known as 'Lake America,' which Apple and Google have adopted in their map services.
- Arriving one week before the 29th season premiere, the stunt also targets Paramount, which Parker and Stone labeled a 'Skydance Capitulation' following the media merger.
- The show's Instagram account posted a cartoon of the president with the characters, declaring, 'People won't be goin' on down to South Park any time soon.'
- This satire continues the show's aggressive mockery of the administration, building on decades of parodying figures like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Saddam Hussein.
